knee And More

We had a nice early start this morning. Not. I had to go back to Truro to see the consultant about my knee. Sadly he has told me that i have damaged my maniscus. He is giving me two more week to rest and allow the swelling to go down and the pain the get better. If things are all the same then i have to have either one or both of the following things, an MRI and or seeing a knee surgeon. As a treat we then went over to costa. Weve not had very much time on our own recently out and about so we took the opportunity whilst we can...and it seems costa were mocking.me c; Once we got home, the weather was being great to us so we took the opportunity to let our butterflies that weve grown out into the wild. It was amazing. We held them first and really got to have a nice close look at them...it is something that we will be doing again. 100%. To have seen them go from tiny caterpillars right through to stunning butterflies was fantastic to watch. Youve got to love nature Following this, we picked up Dixie and i drove us to the feild just up the road where we let her off the lead and chucked the ball around the place and gave her a great run around. It was fab to see our little pooch out and about again as ive not been able to do it in ages. Ive also decided that me and my girlfriend havnt had a date daya in FOREVER. So weve arranged it for tomorrow where we aret off to the cinema to watch malificent. I have also completed hat number 79 today. Yay. Ps...my internet is being mega slow so as soon as its come back to the 21st century, i will be adding photos to go with this post. TTFN XXXX

Nightmare

Where have I been? That is a good question. So far this weekend I have been in bed and in hospital, but suprisingly not for my lungs.

On Friday morning I knealt down to tidy up Dixies toys and the shreaded cardboard. As my knee hit the floor I was in agony...in tears. Something happened to my knee.

I ignored it for 3 days thinking it was following having the dye in my hip on Thursday as the Consultant said it can cause pain in my leg.

Come Sunday I was in even more pain. I couldnt bend my knee without being in complete agony. My knee was giving way, is swollen and my knee cap was moving around more than it should do.

Last night I couldnt take it any longer. I cant do what I originally planned which was wait till Tuesday to go to my GP.

And a good job aswell

I went to hospital and I had an examination and an x-ray and then a senior Consultant came to see me. I knew then that things werent good

It turns out I have torn the ligaments thats around my knee. They also think I have damaged the part of my knee called the maniscus but they cant pull my leg around enough to assess it so I have to go back to hospital in 8 days as they think the swelling should have reduced and the pain would have settled abit. I then find out whether i have to have my leg immobilised or not.

For now though I have been told i cant weight bare on my leg, and i have to rest with good pain releif...so thats why I have been stuck in my bed all weekend.

Great hey
